PrrA in Rhodobacter sphaeroides
From Proteopedia
Photosynthesis Response Regulator PrrA of Rhodobacter sphaeroides
Background Information
PrrA of Rhodobacter sphaeroides is the DNA binding protein partner of the redox-responsive two-component signal transduction regulatory system, PrrBA. PrrA regulates genes required for carbon dioxide and nitrogen fixations, photosynthesis and proton oxidation and uptake[1]. PrrB is an integral membrane sensor histidine kinase that can phosphorylate PrrA when it senses changes in redox, such as can occur when oxygen tension change. Based on transciptome profiling, of the 4,284 genes represented in R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 GeneChip, PrrA apparently regulates 1,057[2].

- The of the protein.
The PrrA protein is predicted to consist of a N-terminal receiver domain, extending from 1-130 amino acids, and a C-terminal domain covering approximately from 141-184 amino acids (residues 139-183 are ca. 90% conserved within the protein family[3]). It is also suggested that the C-terminal domain contains a helix-turn-helix (HTH) DNA-binding motif from 159-179 amino acids (100% conserved within the family via sequence analysis[4]). The two domains are said to be connected via a short proline-rich linker[5].

1umq
1umq is an engineered chain structure fragment sequence of the DNA binding domain of PrrA with residues from 125 to 184 from R. sphaeroides. The cited article investigated the C-terminal effector domain of PrrA by NMR, which was said to consist of a three-helix bundle with a helix-turn-helix DNA binding motif.
